CB challenge 33

Using the glorious spring  and sticks and stones stamp sets to create a scene.
I stamped the rabbit from glorious spring first using black versafine ink, then the trees from sticks and stones  and the small rabbit from glorious spring using london fog memento ink.
Catkins from glorious spring were repeat stamped down one edge in black.
I used tumbled glass distress ink for the sky and peeled paint for the trees and grass.Catkins and branches were coloured with alcohol markers.
Finally the sentiment stamped in the sky in black.

the house of cards challenge, make a scene

monochrome bridge

 The lovely bridge image  from kingfisher song from Chocolate Baroque was far too nice to just use in the background, so I thought I would try to create a nighttime scene.
I used a very light grey card to stamp onto using black versafine ink. I also used boulders from sticks and stones, and clouds from seashore scenes. Distress inks in black soot and hickory smoke spomnged over the sky, very roughly as I wanted the impression of clouds.
I used grey brusho for rthe bridge and river, watercolour pencils for the trees and boulders with white pencil for the moon and highlights.

For the second version I used a mask for the moon and hickory smoke for the clouds, and added some turquoise brusho to the grey for the river. The leaves in the foreground are the water iris leaves from kingfisher song, colorued with black marker pen - the same image has been repeat stamped on the base card.

kingfishers

 I hope that you managed to see Lesley on Hochanda earlier this week when she launched these gorgeous new stamps from Chocolate Baroque, which are exclusive to Hochanda for 10 days - so you will have to be patient if you missed them......
I spent a happy evening watching the shows that I had missed on catch-up, with a very contented cat snoozing on my lap without being turfed off, coffee being delivered by my long-suffering husband, who retreated to astronomy magazines!


The kingfisher image on all three cards is from kingfisher song, as is the lovely bridge; the boulders are from sticks and stones, and the sentiment on the last card from words to sparkle.





All three cards were stamped using versafine ink in black and smoky grey and coloured with a mix of promarkers and brusho powders.








I really enjoyed playing with these stamps, and am looking forward to more time to play after getting more ideas from the super samples on the shows!
